The Design

About Dcl Stol

Dcl är en stol tillverkad helt av högdensitetsfiberskiva. Varje del är utskuren med en CNC-fräs. Stolen är målad i en klar enfärgad kulör, och vilken färg som helst kan appliceras. Sedd på avstånd ser Dcl nästan ut som ett kubiskt block i massiv färg snarare än en stol. Designen bygger på en stolsstudie av den italienske arkitekten och formgivaren Cesare Leonardi, som förblev en trämodell och aldrig sattes i produktion. Namnet Dcl står för Dopo Cesare Leonardi, vilket betyder Efter Cesare Leonardi. Stolen mäter 55 gånger 50 gånger 70 centimeter.

Unique Properties
It's a chair made entirely of HDF and painted with a bright solid color - any color - and looks like, when spotted, almost not a chair but a sort of a cubic block of solid massive color.
Dimensions & Packaging
55 x 50 x 70 cm
Tags
chair, concept chair, contemporary chair, basic chair, colorful chair
Production Technology
HDF cut in a CNC router.
Design Challenge
In this particular case, there was not "a hardest part of design", which is very rare in any of my designs.
Research
I simply found in the internet a photo of one interesting study of chair made by the Italian architect and designer Cesare Leonardi. Since Leonardi's chair was not developed nor produced, I thought I could "devevelop it, as I was a Leonardi's team member, and started make a model of of it, changing material, changing form and proportions and making it in a more logic way, seaching for a better proportion and confort for a chair of plain HDF (Leonardi's chair was made of solid wood). The result: my chair is very basic, more logic than Leonardi's; my chair is a concept chair. DCL means Dopo Cesare Leonardi (After Cesare Leonardi).
Inspiration
My inspiration was a chair study made by Cesare Leonardi, an Italian architect and designer. Leonardi's chair was nothing more than a wooden model and was not developed nor produced.
Project Duration
The project started in May 2025 in São Paulo and finished in October 2025.
Operation Flow
It's a chair.
Patents
The design was registered at IAB (Instituto dos Arquitetos do Brasil)
